Ranting about online conferences
I want to remind to my European and American colleagues that a LOT of people in the global south could never have shared in with your "magic" because of lack of funding, or even visa issues.
So when you say "let's go back to the magic of ftf conferences", I hear "let's go back to the magic of conferences with 80% EU/NA attendance".
Even here in well-funded Japan I'm already finding it difficult to have my students attend to as many confs as they did last year.

Anyone calling trans people hyperbolic over this is ignorant of how bad mainstream "Gender Critical" is, or is lying because they know how bad it is but support it and realise that it won't sell to the public https://twitter.com/KatysCartoons/status/1533572329686683653

I hope that @ByDonkeys is screengrabbing all the sycophantically supportive tweets for the Liar-In-Chief from Tory MPs today, so that constituents can be reminded of them come the election ...

Why are these parasites advertising on Twitter? And why to me? “The algorithm” is obviously junk in actual fact.

Only in Britain could an obscene Tory regime oversee 200,000+ Covid deaths, and then herald it a roaring success. Sick, twisted bastards who delight in people suffering and grieving. Eton Virus @BorisJohnson said he wanted "Bodies piled up high". Evil and disgusting beyond words.

Can’t get too excited about this #NoConfidence thing.
There are two possible outcomes, both of which leave the country in the hands of some flavour of horrendous fucking twat.

Silicon Valley Corporations Are Taking Control Of History
"This idea that anyone can ever be an impartial arbiter of objective reality is logically fallacious and is invalidated by facts in evidence."

@polevaultpower So to get that straight: in order to protect my daughter from extremely unlikely sexual harrassment by a trains-kid, we make a law that forces sexual harrassment on all girls who want to play sports?

When you're posting hashtags that contain multiple words, it's a good idea to capitalise the first letter of each word. This helps blind people who use screen reader software to know what the hashtag actually says.
For example #DogsOfMastodon is much easier for screen reader users than #dogsofmastodon, even though they're technically the same tag.
This kind of capitalisation is usually known as "CamelCase". CamelCase doesn't just help blind people, it also makes hashtags clearer for sighted people too!
Using CamelCase won't affect your post's visibility (because searches ignore capitalisation) but it will improve the post's accessibility, so you'll get more people reading it.
Thank you to @martyn for raising this topic 👍
